Sorry to hear that. What part of the state are you in? My oldest and I are going to set on the patio again tomorrow morning. Hope to get out early and get him his first dove. I picked up those flickers and 2 mojo voodoos to hopefully draw more in and give him a little more time get set to shoot.Awful. Sat noon to 5 on public we were last drawn….. 0 birds from noon to 3 then a few random fast guys came in 3-4 then 4-5 THEY all start coming in and I can’t hit the broadside of a barn. Kids allergies were a mess in the ragweed…… all that said great memories made ! One dove in the fridge hoping to add some more tomorrow.

We usually hunt from sunrise to 10-11am depending on the birds. Then back out around 5 if we can. It seems like 8-9:30am is the best time for us.Ive done OK in mornings but after 30 yrs of this stuff, 4 to 6 pm is best.
State or private ground.
Learned long ago to avoid the scorching mid day hrs for so few birds.
Noon to 2 pm............forget it.
